Champagne Taittinger
Taittinger remains one of the few Champagne Houses to be owned and actively managed by the family named on the label. Our origins date back to 1734 with the founding of the original House by Jacques Fourneaux.
The link to the Taittinger name was established by our founder Pierre Taittinger. Pierre spent time in the Champagne region during the First World War, stationed at the Château de la Marquetterie, he fell in love with this remarkable property and returned in the 1930s to acquire it, set up the family business and realise his dream. Today, the Reims based House is headed up by Pierre’s great grandchildren Vitalie and Clovis, both of whom are actively involved in the day to day running of this thriving family Champagne House.
“Having our family name on every bottle is our signature, it is a big responsibility. We have a duty to respect the history, knowledge and passion from the past whilst looking to the future. Each signature is a commitment to quality”
Vitalie Taittinger
Taittinger’s home is situated above miles of chalk tunnels and cellars. These 4th century UNESCO listed cellars once belonged to the Benedictine monks of the abbey of St Nicaise and are perfect for the slow ageing process required for great Champagne.
The hallmark of the Taittinger Champagnes is the high percentage of Chardonnay used in their winemaking which can be anything from 40% in the Brut Réserve Non Vintage to 100% in the prestigious Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs. This Chardonnay dominance provides for a style of elegance, delicacy and finesse which is recognised worldwide and has earned the House many accolades and awards over the years.
Today, Taittinger produces 9 different cuvées and is served in over 140 countries worldwide. Cuvees include Taittinger Brut Reserve NV, Taittinger Prestige Rosé NV, Taittinger Brut Vintage, Taittinger Folies de la Marquetterie NV, Taittinger Prélude Grands Cru NV, Taittinger Nocturne Sec, Taittinger Nocturne Rosé & our two prestige cuvées Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blanc Brut & Comtes de Champagne Rosé Brut.
